Imagine the hang over thought at the end of the 6 years!!! :beer2:

P.S. I changed the front first - this made things FAR worse steering wise! The back seemed totally disconnected once the front was under control. I was amazed how things at the back can affect the direction of travel1

I recently replaced all 4 shocks and the steering damper - they didnt actually feel that bad as the wear was all equal (if that makes sense??). However apart from it being a different machine comfort wise it does drive in a straight line now! If they look shot (mine did not) it may well be...

Shipping to and from Bulgaria is UNBELIEVABLY expensive - just shipped a 13 kg small package to the UK and it was £110.00 ! However if your well organized you can usually get one of the better companies to special order what you need from wherever they get them from. It may take a month or two...

OUCH!!!!!!! £13,855.00 I can see why the local guys Disco's look crap in comparison - thats 34,000 Bulgarian Leva or nearly 10 years average annual salary over here - LOL. It still looks very cool but locally i can buy 42,500 pints of (expensive) beer for that so its a close run...

Thanks for that Dave! Will the 255/65R16 fit the D1 without modification - i tried the sticky above but its link is now dead. Im guessing it will at only 20mm wider than the current ones but best to ask!?!?!?

Right ill go and see what the local excuse for BFG's not being available is and why i should buy some Rumanian crap with a wobbly un centered tread and a speed rating so slow its given in pictogram of animals - snail, tortoise, dog, hair, donkey, horse. Im not kidding they still use horse and...

Despite owning a D1 im still not a huge fan (getting there) but i have to say your's looks cool - mine, despite only 50k mls, still looks like an old / uncool SOS. There are many local guys who trick them out (here in Bulgaria) and they just look like money pit SOS's instead of looking like...

Right its 39 deg C here in Bulgaria but we start thinking about winter early here!!! Ill need to buy a set of decent AT's for winter - I have winter road tyres but they are totally hopeless, Id be better just leaving the summer road tyres on. Seriously they are crap! Previously on 4x4's ive...

If i carnt get it here ill get my sister to ship it over - the issue is the posties nick anything that looks interesting!!!

Thanks - i appreciate the advice from someone living in proper winter conditions and the advice re the clutch is a good one!

Ill check it but trust me nothing is cheap and easy to do in Bulgaria £20 for a distributor rotor arm and 4 weeks to get it LOL. Thanks though ill get on to it!!!

Just an update on this thread so far: Ive put new shocks all round and new steering damper + polly bushes on all new stuff. Ive put new MAF unit on there and renewed the entire HT side. Ive put a new viscous unit and fan belt on there plus its had a full service with oil and air filters etc...

I am - ive put new shocks all round and new steering damper + polly bushes on all new stuff. Ive put new MAF unit on there and renewed the entire HT side. Its cost me about £1000 to do the lot but it is a different vehicle!!!

£4.50!

Hi Once again begging for assistance from those int he know! Its always been a little hit and miss going from 3rd into 4th on my V8 D1. Now its getting a real pain!! 2nd is no longer a dog leg to the left it is straight back from 3rd and 4th is about 1.0mm to the right of it - this is...

Amazingly he is towed by a - "rescue" TOYOTA and a mechanic arrives in a TOYOTA. They can not repair the front prop but they can "repair" the rear half shaft - which is shown to the camera in a condition that can only describes as "absolutely totally f8***g new" - Im NOT as Landi fan (mine is...

Well im just watching a discovery program (ironic) where some guy is going up a mountain (hill) in Africa. Allegedly his BRAND NEW LAND ROVER has sheered a rear drive shaft so he is in 2WD mode and having to reverse up it - IN ALL HONESTY I COULD DRIVE A VW BEETLE UP THIS HILL!!!! Jeopardy -...

Not an option for me in Bulgaria - and the temp can be down to -30 degC and even close to home you can be on roads you wont see anything but Bears and Wolves for days on end - no kidding!! Hence (partly) my paranoia about it being reliable. However in winter we do carry proper survival kits...

Thanks guys - I appreciate people post here WHEN they have a problem not when they are happy but it was looking a little like people had nothing but ongoing problems!!! We live in Bulgaria and bought the Disco 1 so we could keep our business running in the harsh winters and all it did the first...
